Cotton growers under govt schemes need not worry about increase in premimum rates : Haryana ACS

Chandigarh, Jul 21 (UNI) Cotton growers in Haryana who enroll under both the crop insurance scheme ‘Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana’ (PMFBY) and crop diversification scheme ‘Mera Pani – Meri Virasat’ (MP-MV), need not worry about any increase in premium rates, as the state government will bear 100 per cent of the cost of insuring alternate crops.
Stating this here on Tuesday, Mr Sanjeev Kaushal, Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department, said that following the revamp of the Central Government’s crop insurance scheme, farmers would have to pay two per cent of sum insured for Kharif, 1.5 per cent of sum insured for Rabi, and five per cent for cotton, which is a commercial and annual crop.
However, farmers who opt to cultivate alternate crops, including cotton, under the State’s crop diversification scheme would not have to pay any insurance premium on such crops. The state government would also bear 100 per cent of premium share of maize crop in eight blocks in five districts, he added.
